Hi. I remember in about 1992 playing a game in the arcades that was a side-scroller/fighter/beat-um-up.

It was not Final Fight. It was similar. But there was 4 characters to choose from. I think 1 blonde white guy who probably had kicks and a spin kick move. There was a brown guy who's special move was a head-butt that hurt your friends and left him vulnerable when he was on the ground. There was a black guy who was like a street fighting boxer with his hands tied in the white rope, and another character I can't remember him.

Does anyone know what it was called? I don't know the years it was out. I saw it in Europe during the summer on a vacation. It was in English though and I did see it a few times in Canada.

Did it have a port too?

Ummm.....On the third level which was in Las Vegas or some gambeling place I think....There was these transvestites that you beat-up and they licked you which drained your health...They could do other things to knock your character down...Yeah...So I want to be tolerant, but that was not a good part in the game and it was great to beat that level...and subsequent levels...


No interested in that mentioned level except to pass it, but the game itself was a bit unique.

Is it available now?

Hi. Your game request remind me of an old game that I saw in my local hospital. The demo of this game was running in loop on old slot machine. So every time i came to hospital i saw it.

But i was too young and i didn't have small change to actually play in it, so i stood a few minutes and watched the demo or how teens play it.

It looked so fun to play that it remind in my memory as a child dream that i never been able to realize, because after some time slot machines were removed.

The game called "Violent Storm" released by Konami in 1993.

Also, next to slot machine with "Violent Storm", stood another one with "Metal slug" don't know which part though. It's a arcade 2-D side scrolling shooter. It also left an impression of fun to play game.

It's not Violent Storm tren0r. Thanks for the link though. I remember that one because of the intro.

I might have had a little info wrong. I just forgot because it was such a long time ago. I might have mixed a few games up. I think it's this game. Vendetta (Crime Fighters 2). Not sure though. I'll keep looking.

It is this game Vendetta 1991 or Crime Fighters 2.

There was a clean and dirty/explicit version. The dirty/explicit version was in Europe (I am unsure about the clean version) and both clean and dirty/explicit version were in Canada and America.

Taken from The International Arcade Museum, http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=10300 and here too as Crime Fighters 2 in Japan, http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7438

E.G.:
Game Play
The game play is similar to Crime Fighters. However, this game contains many more weapons that can be used, such as shotguns, clubs, buckets, bricks, whips, etc. As in the original, there are some touches of violent risque humor (e.g. leather-clad "pimps" and dogs in heat who try to molest you).

And if you want to find the Japanese version, look on YouTube to see the game uncensored.
